Introducing the Deans of Massey High School

The Massey High School Campus comprises four distinct houses, each containing approximately 450 students, ranging from Year 9 to Year 13. The names of the houses are linked to the school crest. 

Students are encouraged to relate to “their house” in various sporting, academic and cultural activities supported by assemblies and student and tutor teacher generated events.  Each school is led by two Deans - a teaching dean and a non-teaching dean. 

The Deans have offices in the BRPAC (Performing Arts Centre), and have a number of responsibilities; primarily as pastoral care; however they also have other responsibilities such as; academic counselling, litter and property maintenance.
